Chapter 665 - 386: New Resident_4

Wu Wenyue hesitated for a moment, glanced at Huang Tianxuan, and said, "Take a bath with me and scrub my back."

Huang Tianxuan smiled faintly, "Wenyue, you go first. Peifeng, sit here, I want to have a chat with you."

"About what?" Li Peifeng thought to himself, if it’s about discussing the dowry, then it’s definitely a conversation worth having.

"Let’s talk... talk about futures. I noticed you’re still interested in trading, right?"

Li Peifeng nodded slightly and started to chat enthusiastically, "The trend will definitely go long, it’s bound to. The two big players, the Middle East and Wall Street, will definitely push crude oil up past 120. But since it’s Friday, they say it’s Black Friday, the stock market and commodities usually drop. The reason is the market closes over the weekend and people don’t know what might happen in those two days, so the market is very cautious, bulls dare not buy... I closed my position because I felt that the rise just wouldn’t last long."

After speaking, Li Peifeng glanced at the screen, a smile appearing on his face: "Look, it dropped from 2.88 to 2.3! I bet it will probably fall back before the close. By then, I’ll buy back in because the situation will definitely escalate over the weekend. This war won’t end easily, and the market will react to that over the weekend. When crude reopens on Monday, it will surely go up!"

Huang Tianxuan covered her mouth with a smile, "Peifeng, you’re so professional. Have you studied this before?"

Li Peifeng replied somewhat modestly, "I read a couple of books a long time ago, just learned the basics."

"Do you know how many financial geniuses in the world enter the financial markets after graduating, making billions, only to fail and commit suicide due to the shock of their losses... Do you know the exact number? Do you think you’re better than them?"

Li Peifeng looked at the two women with determination, "As long as I haven’t earned enough dowry for you two, I won’t be committing suicide!"

"You..."

Wu Wenyue hesitated before waving her hand, "Let him buy, maybe losing it all will make him settle down."

"I won’t lose!"

Li Peifeng half-acted, pretending to be confident, saying he’d figured out the main players’ movements. Then he continued analyzing the trends, discussing international affairs and his guess at investors’ psychology...

The two girls didn’t bother to respond, just said, "If you hit margin call, remember to wake us up." Then they returned to their room to leave.

It was already twelve thirty at night, and they were a bit sleepy. After washing up, they went back to the master bedroom to sleep and rest.

The two girls slept in one bed, with Huang Tianxuan lying in Xu Manning’s original spot, though with a new quilt.

After the lights went out, Wu Wenyue couldn’t help but quietly bring up the dowry, "He definitely won’t make that much money."

Huang Tianxuan lazily said, "That’s his problem, why are you anxious... Hmm, this quilt is quite comfortable, what brand of silk is it?"

Wu Wenyue felt complicated and didn’t answer the irrelevant question, murmuring, "Then what about the wedding? I asked for a billion just to make it difficult for him..."

"If he can’t do it, then there won’t be a wedding," Huang Tianxuan chuckled, "Are you planning to lower the dowry?"

Wu Wenyue hesitated, "Maybe let him pay in installments."

Huang Tianxuan chuckled softly, "Wenyue, you really have a soft heart. Do whatever you like, anyway, I don’t care about dowries. After graduation, he’s going to give me kids. If I win, we’re getting married... If he wants a divorce, it depends on my mood."

...

The two girls slipped into dreamland while Li Peifeng continued watching the crude oil trends, not stopping until five fifty in the morning when the sky was beginning to lighten. His strong physical condition kept him from feeling any fatigue.

The current trend aligned with his predictions. From twelve thirty in the morning until now, crude oil had gone from red to green, from a 2% rise to a 1.1% drop. The trade volume remained very stable, without any sudden drops or spikes at the close.

With less than ten minutes left until the close, Li Peifeng stared at the buy button, indecisive about whether or not to buy in. Thoughts swirled chaotically in his mind.

"Weekend closings, the war definitely won’t stop, but what if it opens low on Monday? One point and I’m finished. Shaking off speculators inevitably happens. The key is after the weekend, the war will surely intensify - the bears definitely can’t suppress the bulls, otherwise it wouldn’t make sense, so the shake shouldn’t be too big..."

Li Peifeng’s expression shifted multiple times, and with the close approaching, he decisively clicked the mouse in the last two minutes, "Is it pretty? When others fear, I get greedy. When others make small losses, I go bankrupt!"

"It’s just three million originally, doghouse, if you want, take it. I’m all in!"

He invested a total of $2.92 million USD from his three accounts, using one hundred times leverage to tie up $290 million USD, again transforming into a bull entering the market. Who cares about stop-loss or stop-gain lines? None were set!

After completing his transaction, the crude oil price ticked up a few cents, and Li Peifeng suddenly remembered Wu Wenyue’s warning to him. As his impulse faded, calm took over, and he couldn’t help but smile self-mockingly.

"Hah, with my gambler’s nature, even if I could foresee the future, it’s doubtful I could change. Right now, I’m lucky to have made a bit. Maybe using ’Time Reversal’ caused a butterfly effect, losing even the last cent..."

Looking at the crude oil price, which remained stable with a -1.14% drop at 91.93 due to the halted trading, Li Peifeng simply clicked X to exit the software’s upper right corner!

"I’ll leave it to fate. Even if I get margin calls, I still have a million in savings. If I lose, I lose... If I win, I’ll make a fortune. See you at Monday’s open for life or death!"

At this moment, Li Peifeng felt a bit more at ease, given that even if he hit a margin call, it wouldn’t break him. This could even provide an excuse to play the sympathy card; Wu Wenyue and Huang Tianxuan might soften, and the dowry issue might be easier to resolve...

What is this called? Win or lose, it’s a win; the only difference is between a big win and a small win!

"I’m really a sneaky bastard!"

Mr. Li secretly scorned himself, closed all trading software, got up, left his bedroom quietly, and tiptoed to the door of the neighboring room. At this time, Huang Tianxuan and Wu Wenyue were soundly asleep...

"Let me see how well my two wives are sleeping?"
